Gianluca: “I published a video that tests some of the main GH5 video capabilities (Slow motion, Focus transition, ETC, Dual I.S.2) while displaying Exif data in real time. One thing I noticed watching the Exif data is that every time 180fps slow motion is used the stabilization field shows Dual I.S. instead of Dual I.S.2. Has anyone else noticed? https://vimeo.com/pixemotions/gh5test“

About Aurora HDR:

Aurora HDR is not just a tool for merging bracketed images, it also provides numerous tools and countless options to create perfect HDR photos for every taste – from one-click presets and advanced tone-mapping, to layers, noise reduction and powerful luminosity masking controls.

Aurora HDR’s Key Features:

• Total HDR editing experience with the most complete set of tools available.
• Fast, powerful RAW processing engine.
• Tone-mapping algorithm to achieve both realistic and dramatic HDR images.
• Over 70 presets that give photos an amazing HDR look in just one click.

• Unique layer system that supports blend modes, custom textures and using original exposures as source images.
• Image Radiance, brushes, masks, lighting, vignettes and much more help users achieve their artistic vision

We know Panasonic promised us a major firmware update for this Summer. But so far I got no possible info about an imminent release. All I got is the following info that is not coming via our trusted sources:

Arno from the GH5 facebook group posted this image of a supposed GH5 firmware 2.0 features list. According to that document the firmware should be released on August 30. I hope trusted sources reading this post will tell me if it’s real or fake:

Solar Eclipse Maestro just released a new version of the mac-only camera controller for eclipses with support for Panasonic cameras.  It supports the GX8 and GH4, and will support the GH5 when its firmware is updated to allow USB tether-control.
